Kirsten Davenport '12 is currently the Human Resources Manager for the Central Division for the Kroger Company. Her division is responsible for 138 stores throughout the Midwest.

Of her current role, Kirsten says, "Right now I am on special assignment where I am staffing and rebranding the old Marsh stores and turning them into Kroger stores. I have been employed with Kroger for what will be 10 years in June. I started with Kroger when I was 14 years old. After graduating from Ball State I was offered a position in HR and then less than a year later I was offered this role."

While working for Kroger keeps Kirsten busy, she is currently studying for the LSAT (Law School Admission Test). She plans to go to law school to become an Employment Attorney.

In addition to Kroger and studying for the LSAT, Kirsten was also named "Miss Banks of the Wabash" where she spends her year of service advocating change in the Down Syndrome community.

She says, "Because of my title of Miss Banks of the Wabash, I was able to go to the Miss Indiana Pageant this past June and finish in the top ten. I am hoping to earn my ticket back this June and advance to the Miss America Pageant next September."
